One of India’s greatest openers, Rohit Sharma spoke about his Test retirement and revealed that his father, Gurunath Sharma was disappointed with his decision. While talking for the very first time after his Test retirement, the Mumbai-based batter said that his father has been a Test match geek and is not really fond of new-age cricket.
Rohit, who plied his trade for the Mumbai Indians in the recently passed Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for Mumbai Indians, announced his Test retirement last month. The veteran batter was struggling with his form in the red ball format and could not do much in the series against New Zealand and Australia. The situation got even more pathetic as he had to withdraw from the last Test in Sydney against Australia earlier this year.
Who Was Not Happy After Rohit Retired From Test Cricket?
Rohit Sharma comes from a humble family background, as his father used to work in a transport company. His father has sacrificed a lot in order to give Rohit a healthy life.
The former India Test skipper hung up his boots after taking part in 67 matches, where he collected 4301 runs at an average of 40.57. Rohit also hammered 12 centuries and 18 fifties in the red ball format and also guided the Indian team to a World Test Championship (WTC) final in 2023 against Australia, where they faced defeat.
